Spring is notorious to allergy-sufferers, prompting many of the afflicted to turn to experts to guide them through this uncomfortable phase.

One Virginia resident asked CNNHealth expert Dr. Jennifer Shu how to best treat itchy eyes, a symptom which is triggered by springtime allergies and which hasn't responded ideally to oral medications.

"Oral medications can help counteract all of these allergy symptoms, but if you have only itchy eyes, there are some treatments that may help you that won't make you drowsy," Shu replied. "First, try to avoid environmental allergens by keeping the windows of your home and car closed, and consider the use of an air filter."

Professional-grade air filters, such as those carried by FreshAirPro, are equipped with the leading technology to effectively clear your indoor air from virtually all airborne contaminants.

The IQAir HealthPro Plus combines four advanced filtration techniques to remove over 99 percent of dust, dust mites, gases, odors, smoke, mold, pollen, pet dander and more. Its HyperHEPA filter is the most advanced filter of its class and can remove particles as small as .003 microns in size.

Given the number of false starts we've already had this year, it's hard to say when spring will be here for good. Don't let this lure you into a false sense of security regarding some of those pesky problems that come with the onset of the warmer weather, however. Pollen and mold will be blowing through the air before we all know it.

While sneezes and sniffles can be bothersome, one thing homeowners should really guard themselves against is the proliferation of mold in their homes. Mold can be unsightly at best and harmful to your health at certain levels, so taking measures to curb its growth is well advised.

To prevent mold from growing in your home, try to keep moisture zones well ventilated. Be sure to use a fan when you shower, and if your bathroom lacks a ventilation system, crack a window or try to leave the door open.

The most effective means by far for removing mold is a professional grade air purifying system. The top-rated, best-selling brands carried by FreshAirPro are equipped with cutting edge technology to effectively remove mold, spores and a range of other airborne contaminants.

Recent research has found that houseplants lift peoples' moods in addition to being extremely efficient at purifying indoor air through their conversion of carbon dioxide into oxygen.

"All plants add oxygen and create a healthier indoor environment," Chris Raimondi of the Professional Landcare Network told the Shreveport Times. "In addition, some plants provide the added benefit of removing toxins from the air."

According to the news source, plants can remove as much as 20 percent of dust from the air by emitting water vapor.

Those looking for an even more efficient method of purifying the air should invest in a professional grade air purifying system. A machine equipped with a HyperHEPA filter, such as the IQAir HealthPro Plus, can eliminate well over 99 percent of all particulate matter from the air.

Among the list of factors that contribute to the risk of heart attack published in the journal Lancet, traffic and air pollution weighed in as much higher threats than cocaine usage on a population-wide level.

According to The Boston Globe's Deborah Kotz, traffic and air pollution are responsible for 12 percent of all heart attacks worldwide. Cocaine usage weighs in at about 1 percent, although this is taking into account that .04 percent of the population uses cocaine, compared to 100 percent who are exposed to pollution.

Given the associated health risks, individuals may want to take matters into their own hands when it comes to protecting the respiratory health of themselves and their families.

Investing in a professional grade air purifying system is the most effective way to eliminate airborne contaminants from your indoor air.

The IQAir HealthPro Plus comes with four advanced filtration technologies to combat a range of pollutants, including gases, odors and volatile compounds. The HealthPro Plus contains activated carbon, the best-known solution for removing harmful chemicals from the air.

The remarkable sense of smell possessed by our canine friends is apparently good for more than sniffing out bombs or drugs.

According to WHOTV.com, one family in Iowa is employing an "Angel Service Dog," a pooch that has been specifically trained to sniff out harmful allergies in order to help their kids manage their medical conditions. This will allow their six-year-old son, Tyler, to go out into public without fear of encountering a potentially fatal exposure to peanuts.

While being on alert for potentially harmful contaminants is a useful maneuver, some of us who experience less grave conditions may want to actually do something about allergens once we detect them in our homes.

For this stage of the process, a professional grade air purifying system is a must.

The IQAir HealthPro Plus is equipped with four advanced filtration technologies to effectively tackle mold, pollen, dust, dust mites, pet dander, gases, smoke and odors. The HealthPro Plus is outfitted with a HyperHEPA filter, the most advanced filter in its class.

With spring right around the corner, many people are preparing for the worst as they anticipate the return of their seasonal allergies.

Data from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in 2010 found that the pollen count in Raleigh, North Carolina, was at its highest in six years, and it's entirely possible that other cities across the country have been experiencing a similar growth.

To combat the growing concentration of allergens in the air, it's generally recommended that you regularly clean your carpets, as pollen tends to collect on the fibers and contribute to further symptoms.

Another way to almost completely eradicate airborne contaminants is to install a professional grade air purifying system in your home.

FreshAirPro carries a range of top-rated, best-selling brands that have earned the most customer trust in the market. A FreshAirPro air purifying system often employs a combination of advanced filtration techniques, including the use of activated carbon and HEPA filters.

It's hard to breathe easy when the air is so dry, which is why wintertime requires special steps to help you treat your respiratory system well.

"Cold, dry air...challenges the respiratory system by causing the cells lining the airways to become inflamed and produce mucus as a protective mechanism. Mucous production results in chest congestion, coughing, and discharge," according to the Toronto Sun.

To combat these effects, the news source recommends herbal remedies using marshmallow roots and licorice as well as regular sinus rinsing.

Another wholesale method to attack such conditions is to install a professional grade air purifying system. Employing a trusted machine can be your top-line defense against a range of airborne contaminants including dust, dust mites, mold, pollen, pet dander, smoke, gases, odors, viruses and bacteria.

The IQAir HealthPro Plus is the top-rated, best-selling model on the market today for its combined use of four advanced filtration technologies.

Allergy-sufferers who have ever been house-hunting may well be aware of the specifications to look for when settling into a home that will be gentle on their symptoms.

According to LiveGreenTwinCities.com, those with allergies should avoid carpeting at all costs, as pet dander and dust can collect in the fibers. However, many homes with carpeting may have wood floors underneath, so it's worth it to ask if you can get the floors refinished.

The news source also recommends checking for mold and opting for homes with boiler systems and radiators over those with forced air heat.

An alternative option for those with limited choices is to install a professional grade air purifying system.

The IQAir HealthPro Plus comes with four advnaced filtration technologies to effectively tackle a range of airborne contaminants, including pet dander, dust, mold and gases. Its medical grade HyperHEPA filter is the most advanced filter of its kind, meaning you'll be able to enjoy some of the cleanest air around regardless of how your home is structured.

For many Americans, wood-burning stoves may seem like an anomaly, but according to HealthDay News, we may see more of this potentially health-threatening fuel source in the very near future.

"The importance of residential wood smoke as a source of air pollution is likely to increase due to the rising costs of other fuels," Ryan Allen, who authored a study that examined the effects of HEPA filters on cardiovascular health, said in a news release from the American Thoracic Society.

According to Allen, HEPA filters are an ideal and inexpensive line of defense against wood-burning stove pollution because of how effective they are at filtering tiny airborne particles, creating a cleaner indoor atmosphere to spend time in.

Many professional grade air purifying systems come equipped with HEPA filters as well as other advanced filtration technologies that can dramatically improve indoor air quality by tackling more than just pollutants.

The IQAir HealthPro Plus comes with a HyperHEPA filter, the most advanced filter in its class, to effectively filter particles as small as .003 microns in size compared the .03 micron capacity of standard HEPA filters.

Given that the rainy season is approaching, it's a fitting time to educate ourselves on mold-reduction strategies to ensure we don't get stuck with unpleasant and potentially harmful contaminants inside our homes.

According to the Fond du Lac Reporter, the kitchen and the bathroom are usually the number one culprits when it comes to harvesting mold spores, so do what you can to reduce moisture in these areas. If there's no fan or ventilation system installed in your bathroom, cracking the window or leaving the door open while you shower can help prevent the build-up of steam.

Additionally, you should take the time to fix any leaks, clean moldy surfaces and get rid of excess houseplants. If humidity is an issue in your home, a dehumidifier can also be of great help, the news source reports.

To tackle all of these issues at once, however, a professional grade air purifying system is best for the job.

The AllerAir 5000 Exec is equipped with 18 pounds of activated carbon to make it a top-of-the-line defense against chemicals, gases and odors as well as a powerful HEPA filter that will remove 99.97 percent of all particulate matter.
